Not too keen on their food since we have so many varieties along Jonker Street but the Geographer Cafe is a great place to wind down, have some cold beers and people watch. The live music helps as well. Weekends are a riot here with Geographer and their competitor Ringo directly across taking turns providing live music. Service is so so and pricing is average. Best advise is to get some munchies along Jonker street, find a suitable seat, order your drinks and chill.

Selvam is my favourite place for breakfast or brunch in Malacca. Parking might be a pain due to where they are located however thats just a minor issue. They serve up awesome tosai, idli and uppuma. Even their banana leaf for lunch is yummy. Along with their rotis and idlis they serve up good dhall and curries. So far been visiting multiple times in the last 4 years and they have been consistant. Service is good and friendly and pricing wise they are pretty reasonable for indian food.

McQuek is a good cheaper alternative when it comes to satay celup. On top of that it isn't as crowded as the others so no waiting around for tables. The only thing I wish it would improve on is the sauce. It isn't as nice as the others. Being satay celup the sauce is the number 1 priority.
In terms of selections they have the usual as per other places. It gets refilled often so nothing runs out. On top of that the service is fast and friendly. Worth a visit for a quick bite.

There are many Nyonya food joints in Malacca and unfortunately this place falls short. Their food and quality are just so so. Service is mediocre at best. They do have a huge restaurant so its suitable for large groups however not worth the price and taste. Much nicer options along the same street. Nothing really special to recommend but I guess if the other places are full you can give this place a try.

When it comes to satay celup everyone says head to Capitol but I can't bear waiting in line for hours. No food is that great. So usually I find alternatives. This is one of them. Decent sauce and choices. Price is generally the same all around.
There are 2 shops with the same name side by side. Not sure what their story is but both similar sauce and options. The one on the left is generally busier. Both are clean with good speedy service.
If you are hankering for some satay celup and don't want to wait in line do give this place a try.
